THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS ON AMERICA'S OPEN AND UNDEFENDED BORDERS - Mexican murder rate hits unprecedented all-time high.

Perhaps a big reason for the extraordinarily high homicide rate in Mexico is that “nearly all such murders go unsolved and unpunished.”
“The number one issue we are dealing with in Mexico is impunity. The impunity rate for regular crimes is 90 per cent…” said a human rights activist in The Guardian newspaper.

Mexican murder rate hits unprecedented all-time high.

It is a very tragic story currently unfolding in America’s southern neighbor where deadly violence is now almost a way of life.
According to data released by Mexico’s National System for Public Security, murders this year in the Latin American country are at an all-time high. Statistics show there has been more killings in the first six months of 2019 than ever before in the country’s history. (Mexicans started keeping records on their country’s murder rate in 1996.)
The total number of victims for the first half of 2019 comes to more than 17,000 people, a new record. This represents a 5.6 per cent increase in killings over the same time period last year. And also amounts to about 90 people slaughtered per day.
Three thousand murders were recorded in June, 2019, alone, which is an increase of 232 over the same month last year. This is the most murders ever recorded for a single month.
These figures do not include victims of other serious crimes such as, for example, kidnapping, attempted murder or extortion.
The Mexican 2019 six-month homicide figure almost matches the American figure for the whole year of 2017 at 17.234, according to the FBI. There was also about a 7.6 per cent drop in the American rate in 2018. But America also has, according to Wikipedia, a population of 327,167.434. By contrast, Mexico’s is 126,577, 691.
Mexico’s horrifying figures stand in contrast to the 13,985 murders committed in the first six months of 2018, which was also a record year for homicides. The year 2018 also saw a 33 per cent increase in the murder rate over 2017, which, again, was yet another record year for killings in its own right.
So far in 2019, Mexico is on pace to easily surpass the 29,111 killings for all of last year by several thousand.
Much of the homicidal violence in Mexico is due to the notorious drug cartels which seem to murder with impunity. The homicide rate in Mexico had actually dropped between 2012 and 2015, causing people to think that the worst of the cartel violence was over. But this wasn’t so.
“Security experts say fueling the violence is the fact that many cartels have splintered into factions that have engaged in increasingly bloody battles over control,” stated a Fox news report.
The most violent state in Mexico, for example, is Guanajuato where the cartels Jalisco New Generation and Santa Rosa de Lima are fighting each other. There are currently 947 murders under investigations in this state. Cartel violence is usually about drug distribution and control of territory.
“In 2011, the Jalisco cartel dumped 35 bodies on an expressway in the Gulf state of Veracruz,” stated an Associated Press report.” In 2012, the Zetas dumped 48 decapitated bodies on a highway in northern Mexico and left 14 severed heads near a city hall.”
But the places in Mexico with the most homicides are the states of Veracruz, Chihuahua and Jalisco as well as Mexico City.
One of the most violent cities in Mexico, however, is the city of Tijuana, just south of the Californian border. Tijuana had 2,519 murders in 2018, a 40 per cent increase over 2017, which was itself a record-breaking year. Just last month, Mexico’s Citizens’ Council for Public Safety deemed Tijuana the most “violent” city in the world.
The violence in Mexico is simply reaching incredible dimensions, incomprehensible to most people.
For example, earlier this month police found 19 bodies hanging from bridges or hacked up. Nine were hanging from an overpass.
All had been shot to death. Some had their hands tied and some had their pants pulled down.
“Two of the bodies hung by ropes from the overpass by their necks and one of the dismembered bodies were women," said Adrian Lopez Solis, state attorney general for the state of Michoacan where the killings took place.
As well, the murderers hung a banner at the site of their killings with a message. The banner bore the initials of the very violent Jalisco New Generation cartel and the message read: “Be a patriot, kill a Viagra.” The Viagra is a rival drug cartel.
“This kind of theatrical violence where you don’t just kill, but you brag about killing is meant to intimidate and send a message to the authorities,” said Mexican security analyst Alejandro Hope.
Earlier, cartels did not make a show of publicly displaying their murder victims.
“For years, cartels had seemed loath to draw attention to themselves with mass public display of bodies,” stated an Associated Press story. “Instead, the gangs went to great lengths to hide bodies in clandestine burial pits or dissolving corpses in caustic chemicals.”
In another act of cartel violence, which would astound most Americans, last May the Jalisco New Generation gangsters, in a “particularly brazen attack,” drove one night “in a convoy of pickups and SUVs”, openly marked with the letters of their cartel, through the Michoacan city of Zamora. They shot up police vehicles and killed or wounded several police officers.   
This recent killing spree in Michoacan of 19 dead is similar to the 2006-2012 drug war in Mexico. The terror of those turbulent years in Michoacan state lasted until ranchers and farmers rose up in a vigilante group and drove the dominant cartel back then, La Familia, out of the state.
One of the former organizers of the vigilante group, however, in a very telling statement, recently told the Associated Press he wants to see the army return to his state.
“We’re worse off now than we were then,” he stated.
The question remains now whether this slaughter and record-breaking growth in the Mexican murder rate year after year can be stopped.
The president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who took office last December, “insists it is under control.” But Obrador has “clashed” with reporters about over this.
One such reporter was Univision’s Jorge Ramos. According to Fox News, Obrador told Ramos: “Our data shows that we’ve brought this situation under control.”
Ramos, however, didn’t let Obrador off the hook, correctly responding: “The data I have shows something else, you’re not controlling, to the contrary, many Mexicans continue to die.”  
However, to his credit, Obrador says he intends to establish a new, 18,000 member National Guard to combat the cartels. Whether this will have an impact remains to be seen but does indicate the seriousness of the situation.
Perhaps a big reason for the extraordinarily high homicide rate in Mexico is that “nearly all such murders go unsolved and unpunished.”
“The number one issue we are dealing with in Mexico is impunity. The impunity rate for regular crimes is 90 per cent…” said a human rights activist in The Guardian newspaper.
Another possible reason is that this Latin American country, like many Arab countries, have not developed beyond the acceptance of such violence. They appear to have remained more violent than other societies and peoples. In order to deal with this, Mexicans probably will have to look inwards, do some soul-searching, in order to find answers in order to change this terrible situation plaguing their nation. Which is something they can only do themselves.


Drug Czar Jim Carroll: ’93 Percent of Heroin’ in U.S. ‘Comes from Mexico’

Jim Carroll, director of the U.S. Office of Drug Control Policy, told Breitbart News that “93 percent of heroin” in the country “comes from Mexico,” offering his remarks on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

Carroll’s comments came ahead of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) National Takeback Day, scheduled for Saturday. The DEA is encouraging Americans to “prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths” by disposing of unwanted, unused, and expired prescription medications at collection sites.
LISTEN:
Marlow invited Carroll’s comments linking border security to the DEA’s broader mandate to enforce laws and regulations related to controlled substances.
“We’re really working hard, especially our folks at DHS, whether it’s the U.S. Coast Guard out at sea, border patrol, or Customs and Border Protection,” replied Carroll. “These men and women out there are really doing everything they can to protect us from drugs coming into our country.”
Carroll added, “I think it’s important for everyone to realize — when we talk about the southwest border — 93 percent of the heroin that comes into the country comes from Mexico. So it’s coming right across the border.”
“We know fentanyl is being produced in Mexico as well as China, and coming across the border, as well,” continued Carroll. “Even cocaine from Columbia is not all coming by sea, some it is also coming up through the southwest border, as well.”
Carroll noted a 25 percent increase in cocaine seizures across the southwest border in 2019 relative to 2018’s annual total.
“In 2018, 6,500 pounds of cocaine were seized between the ports of entry along the southwest border. Do you want to know what it is in ’19? We’re not even finished with ’19. Not even halfway through 2019, our folks at DHS along the southwest border, between ports of entry, 8,100 pounds of cocaine have been seized. We are working hard there.”
Carroll praised President Donald Trump’s prioritization of combating drug trafficking and addiction. “Under this president, we have more people accessing treatment than ever before,” he said.
“Six billion dollars, with the president pushing for this, the president signed it,” stated Carroll. “Another six billion dollars to help with this across the board, whether it’s prevention — which we’re leading some great efforts here at the White House, as well as the rest of the administration — treatment — to help people that need it — and as well as for our law enforcement and interdiction partners to go after this not just along the border, but we’re reaching out overseas and tackling this at the source country where it’s coming from.”
Carroll concluded, “The 2020 budget the president put forth contains 34.6 billion dollars to go after this across the board; treatment, prevention, interdiction. It’s the most ever, in the history of our country, no other president has put more towards treatment, prevention, and interdiction than President Trump. He cares about saving lives and we’re doing it.”

“It was all so very orderly, actually. Border chaos? Not in the least. There's border order all right, but it's cartels who control the order. They already are the ones who take the fees (or promises of free labor or drug transport) from the illegal migrants and anyone who doesn't pay doesn't cross. Cartels not only sell access, they provide a package deal - with the legal instruction, Mexico-based bus service from Central America to the border, and the U.S. bus service to the U.S. workplaces, all for a tidy profit, made even more profitable as economies of scale kick in.

"While other witnesses at Mr. Guzmán’s trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn have testified about huge payoffs from traffickers to the Mexican police and public officials, the testimony about Mr. Peña Nieto was the most egregious allegation yet.

Texas Sheriff Says Mexican Cartels at the Heart of Border Crisis


February 25, 2019 Updated: February 25, 2019

WASHINGTON—A porous southwest border is the gift that keeps on giving to Mexican cartels, whose multibillion-dollar businesses depend solely upon getting illicit goods into the United States.
Sheriff Andy Louderback of Jackson County, Texas, said border securityefforts need to focus more on disrupting the cartels.
“The cartels remain at the heart of the problem here in the United States. They have unlimited funding. … They’re very good at what they do. They’re very powerful, very powerful, in this country,” he said.
Louderback said the cartels are exploiting weak borders and are “profiting hugely off human misery in this country—profiting off of Americans.”
“It’s imperative that the American public understand the criminality of what we’re facing. That alone is enough to secure the border,” he said.
Mexican cartels, otherwise known as transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), show continued signs of growth in the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in a 2018 report.
The cartels control lucrative smuggling corridors, primarily across the southwest border, and maintain the greatest drug-trafficking influence in the United States, states the DEA.
“They continue to expand their criminal influence by engaging in business alliances with other TCOs, including independent TCOs, and work in conjunction with transnational gangs, U.S.-based street gangs, prison gangs, and Asian money laundering organizations,” the DEA said.

Almost 90 percent of the heroin in the United States comes from Mexico, according to the DEA, and Mexican heroin production grew by 37 percent from 2016 to 2017.
“Mexican cartels continue to make large quantities of cheap methamphetamine and deliver it to the United States through the southern border,” the DEA said. Seizures of meth at the border increased from 8,900 pounds in 2010 to more than 82,000 pounds in 2018.
The cartels also export significant quantities of cocaine, marijuana, and fentanyl into the United States.
“The drugs are delivered to user markets in the United States through transportation routes and distribution cells that are managed or influenced by Mexican TCOs, and with the cooperation and participation of local street gangs,” the DEA report states.
“Illicit drugs, as well as the transnational and domestic criminal organizations that traffic them, continue to represent significant threats to public health, law enforcement, and national security in the United States.”

Most of the drugs that are seized are found in vehicles coming through ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection officials seized the largest amount of fentanyl being smuggled in a truck through the Nogales, Arizona, port of entry on Jan. 26.
A Mexican national was arrested after officers found nearly 254 pounds of fentanyl valued at approximately $3.5 million and almost 395 pounds of methamphetamine valued at $1.1 million. That amount of fentanyl had the potential to kill 56 million people, based on the DEA’s estimation that ingesting as little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl, equivalent to a few grains of salt, can be fatal.

But cartels are also using the large groups of asylum-seekers, mostly from Central America, to tie up Border Patrol resources in areas along the border.
“In many instances, criminal organizations are saturating areas with large groups with the belief that they can smuggle narcotics or other contraband into the United States while Border Patrol agents are occupied,” CBP said in a statement on Feb. 11.
Border Patrol agents have encountered more than 58 groups of 100-plus people so far this fiscal year, compared to 13 in all of fiscal 2018.

Remote Border Areas

A civilian group in Arivaca, Arizona, sets up hidden trail cameras on the border in a remote area where it’s rare to see Border Patrol, and the fence, where it exists, is merely four-strand barbed wire.
Arizona Border Recon’s trail camera footage is eye-opening—groups of eight to 10 people crossing the border in camo gear, humping backpacks, and trekking purposefully northwards, deeper into the United States, in carpet shoes to hide their tracks.
The group’s founder, Tim Foley, said that in an average two-week period, one camera on just one of the hundreds of branching trails picked up 400 illegal aliens and 100 drug mules—all led by “coyotes,” or smugglers.

Cartel scouts sit on the mountaintops on both the Mexican and U.S. sides, as if they are air-traffic controllers, ensuring safe passage through.
“About a year ago, our cameras quit picking up the burlap sacks with the 20 kilos of marijuana, but now we’re seeing that they’re running a bigger camouflage pack than the regular illegals,” Foley said in December. “It’s better made. More space in it. They’re running meth, heroine, cocaine, fentanyl.”
Foley hopes to add to his eight trail cameras and continue to pass information on to Border Patrol.
“Cartels are basically the Hispanic version of ISIS,” he said. “We’ve got enough of our own bad guys. We don’t need to import more.”

National Emergency

President Donald Trump signed an executive order three weeks after taking office, instructing federal law enforcement to go after cartels.
“These groups are drivers of crime, corruption, violence, and misery,” the order states. “In particular, the trafficking by cartels of controlled substances has triggered a resurgence in deadly drug abuse and a corresponding rise in violent crime related to drugs. Likewise, the trafficking and smuggling of human beings by transnational criminal groups risks creating a humanitarian crisis.”
On Feb. 15, the president announced a national emergency after Congress failed to provide the $5.7 billion he was asking for to erect 234 miles of fencing requested by the Department of Homeland Security.
Congress provided $1.375 billion toward border fencing, and Trump intends to supplement that with $6.1 billion of reappropriated defense funds.
“We have a State of Emergency at our Southern Border,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Feb. 25. “Border Patrol, our Military and local Law Enforcement are doing a great job, but without the Wall, which is now under major construction, you cannot have Border Security. Drugs, Gangs and Human Trafficking must be stopped!”

Louderback said he supports Trump calling a national emergency to get more border fencing in place.
“The saying is, you build a 10-foot wall, you provide an 11-foot ladder. I got that, and many of us do. Can we inhibit, slow, and catch … by putting in infrastructure in certain places on our southern border? The answer’s absolutely yes,” he said.
“Are there going to be folks that tunnel under? Certainly. Are there going to be ones that climb over? Certainly. Is there going to be fewer? Absolutely. The expectations are, when you put the infrastructure there, that you’re going to do a better job of controlling that piece of real estate.
“If you’re able just to walk across, that’s not operational control of our border.”

‘El Chapo’

The recent trial and conviction of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman provided an insight into the Sinaloa Cartel.
Guzman oversaw the smuggling of narcotics to wholesale distributors in Arizona, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and elsewhere, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The billions of illicit dollars generated from drug sales in the United States were then clandestinely transported back to Mexico, the DOJ said.
“Guzman also used ‘sicarios,’ or hit men, who carried out hundreds of acts of violence in Mexico to enforce Sinaloa’s control of territories and to eliminate those who posed a threat to the Sinaloa Cartel,” the DOJ said in a statement.
A witness at the trial, Alex Cifuentes, who said he used to be Guzman’s right-hand man, told the court that Guzman paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
On Feb. 21, the DOJ announced indictments against two of Guzman’s sons—Joaquin Guzman Lopez, 34, and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, 28—on drug conspiracy charges.

“The rise of the cartel power, their ability to penetrate our border, their ability to move fluidly and silently in any different direction with a 10-minute phone call to make massive changes in what they’re doing, to reroute a load, to reroute humans. … This is the kind of flexibility and the kind of enemy that we’re actually dealing with here,” Louderback said.
“You know who doesn’t want border security, who doesn’t want a wall? And that’s certainly your drug cartels, that’s certainly your MS-13, that’s your rapist, that’s your drug dealers, and sadly, some Democrats that do not want a wall.
“They don’t want operational control of our border. And that’s very sad. It’s tragic and it’s sad. It costs American lives.”
Louderback said the problem exists in every state, but the solution has to start with border security. Once the United States has control over its southern border, it will take full cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement to decimate the cartels.

The 6 Main Cartels Active in the US

The DEA identifies six cartels that traffic the most drugs into the United States: Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), Juarez Cartel, Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas Cartel, and Beltran-Leyva Organization (BLO).
The Sinaloa Cartel maintains the most expansive footprint in the United States, while CJNG’s domestic presence has significantly expanded in the past few years, according to the DEA. Although 2017 drug-related murders in Mexico surpassed previous levels of violence, U.S.-based cartel members generally refrain from extending inter-cartel conflicts domestically.
Sinaloa Cartel
·         Based in the state of Sinaloa.
·         One of the oldest and more established drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.
·         Controls drug trafficking activity in various regions in Mexico, particularly along the Pacific Coast.
·         Exports and distributes wholesale amounts of methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.
·         Has distribution hubs in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago.
·         Illicit drugs primarily smuggled through crossing points along Mexico’s border with California, Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas.
Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)
·         Based in the city of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco.
·         The most recently formed of the six and one of the most powerful and fastest-growing cartels.
·         Rapid expansion due to willingness to engage in violent confrontations with Mexican government security forces and rival cartels.
·         Drug distribution hubs in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Atlanta.
·         Smuggles illicit drugs using various trafficking corridors along the southern border to include Tijuana, Juarez, and Nuevo Laredo.
·         Manufactures and/or distributes large amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.
Juarez Cartel
·         Operates in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, south of west Texas, and New Mexico.
·         One of the older Mexican cartels.
·         Endured a multi-year turf war with Sinaloa Cartel, which, at its height in mid-2010, resulted in many drug-related murders in Chihuahua.
·         Supplies drug markets primarily in El Paso, Denver, Chicago, and Oklahoma City.
·         Mainly traffics marijuana and cocaine, though recently, it has expanded to heroin and methamphetamine.
·         Recent significant increase in opium cultivation.
Gulf Cartel
·         Based in the state of Tamaulipas
·         In operation for decades
·         Traffics mostly marijuana and cocaine, but has also recently expanded into heroin and methamphetamine.
·         Smuggles drugs mostly into south Texas between the Rio Grande Valley and South Padre Island.
·         Maintains a presence in Atlanta, and holds key distribution hubs in Houston and Detroit.
Los Zetas Cartel
·         Base of power is in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
·         Formed in early 2010 after splintering from the Gulf Cartel.
·         Currently divided into two rival factions: the Northeast Cartel (Cartel del Noreste, or CDN), representing a rebranded form of mainstream Zetas, and the Old School Zetas (Escuela Vieja or EV), which is a breakaway group.
·         Smuggle drugs primarily into Texas between Del Rio and Falcon Lake.
·         Traffic cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
·         Key distribution hubs in Laredo, Dallas, and New Orleans, and a known presence in Atlanta.
Beltran-Leyva Organization (BLO)
·         Asserted independence after a split from Sinaloa in 2008.
·         Remnants of the cartel operate in various parts of Mexico, including the states of Guerrero, Morelos, Nayarit, and Sinaloa.
·         Most prominent subgroup, Los Guerreros Unidos, operates independently due to its role in the heroin trade.
·         BLO subgroups rely on their loose alliances with CJNG, the Juarez Cartel, and Los Zetas for access to drug smuggling corridors along the southern border.
·         Primarily traffics marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.
·         Distribution hubs in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta.

Married Couple Executed, Teen Daughter Raped by Cartel Gunmen in Tijuana

A married couple in Tijuana reportedly involved in the drug trade was executed while their 17-year-old daughter was raped after being lured into a trap by cartel gunmen.

Jaqueline and Andrés Martínez were summoned to a meeting on April 10, with an associate they were allegedly involved with in the drug trade. Prior to driving to a residence in colonia Pedregal de Santa Julia, the couple picked up their 17-year-old daughter at school and had her join them. Upon arrival, they were met by cartel gunmen. The couple was immediately separated from their daughter so she could be taken into a room and raped by two of the men, according to a new report and Breitbart law enforcement sources. The cartel gunmen originally started to strangle the daughter with a piece of rope but later decided to let her live, prior to the rape. The couple had their hands and feet bound and forced into the trunk of their car. The couple was then executed with at least one gunshot each to the head, according to a report.
After cartel gunmen finished raping the 17-year-old, they ordered her to leave the property and take the vehicle she arrived in. She was told that her parents were in the trunk. The daughter drove away and eventually stopped at a gas station in a traumatized state. She asked for help and told the station attendants that her parents were inside the trunk. The station summoned the police, who noticed blood dripping from the rear area of the vehicle. Police discovered two deceased adults partially covered in blankets, according to recently released information by the state attorney general’s office.
Jaqueline and Andrés Martínez were married for approximately 20 years and owned a wholesale merchandising business. They were also involved in trafficking drugs into the United States, according to the state attorney general’s office. Once investigators located the residence where the double murder and rape took place, the cartel gunmen had already fled.
Breitbart News reports extensively about the ongoing cartel violence in Tijuana with shocking numbers of homicides to include a record-breaking year in 2018, which totaled 2,518. By comparison, San Diego tallied 35 the same period.
A recent study released in March by the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice (El Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pública y la Justicia Penal) listed Tijuana as the deadliest city in the world per capita, based on its 2018 registered homicide count. The bloodshed is generally related to turf wars involving Cártel Tijuana Nueva Generación (CTNG), aligned with El Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, against the Sinaloa Cartel.

EXCLUSIVE: Cartel Hitman Behind Mexican Border Beheadings Unmasked

Breitbart News learned the identity of a hitman responsible for performing numerous beheadings and dismemberments throughout the border state of Nuevo Leon on behalf of the terrorist-led Cartel Del Noreste, a faction of the Los Zetas.

Known by the nickname “El Negro Cadereyta,” Jesus Enrique Flores Ramirez is a top lieutenant with the CDN under the command of Hector Raul “El Tory” Luna Luna, the cartel boss behind the 2008 grenade attack on the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Law enforcement sources consulted by Breitbart News identify Flores Ramirez as the man who led a CDN group in Monterrey linked to at least 16 dismemberments.
Under orders of El Tory, CDN hitmen carried out 16 executions in a six-month span, where they left the remains of their victims in public places next to poster boards or banners with threats directed at rivals. Law enforcement sources say the moves are meant to terrorize rivals and intimidate independent drug distributors into exclusive collaboration with the CDN. The executions were ordered by El Tory through his right-hand man in direct contact with Flores Ramirez. By controlling local distributors, the CDN is able to control drug prices in the Monterrey Metropolitan area.
Earlier this year, detectives with the Nuevo Leon’s State Investigations Agency tracked down Flores Ramirez and his top hitmen, David Ricardo “La Galleta or Cookie” Martinez Lopez and Samuel Eduardo “El Sammy” Luna Escobar. State detectives were able to identify the men in a Chevrolet Aveo previously used to kidnap and kill two lookouts from the Gulf Cartel.
Breitbart News accessed police reports linking Flores Ramirez to the kidnapping and murder of 51-year-old Felipe de Jesus Ramirez Serrano and 17-year-old Jordan Arcenis “Cocoy” Nunez Garcia. Negro Cadereyta allegedly arranged for the two victims to unload a tractor-trailer filled with drugs, in reality, the job was a ruse to capture the two men who were then recorded claiming to work for the Gulf Cartel. Flores Ramirez and his henchmen allegedly beheaded and dismembered the victims, whose remains were discovered in February at an industrial park in the community of Escobedo.
Flores Ramirez’s boss, El Tory, currently controls the CDN in Monterrey and the border city of Nuevo Laredo. He was in a Mexican federal prison beginning in 2010 but was mysteriously released in mid-2018. Since assuming command of the CDN, El Tory ordered numerous dismemberments in Nuevo Leon and the neighboring states of Tamaulipas and Coahuila. El Tory previously issued direct threats to law enforcement using banners, specifically targeting a state police building in Nuevo Leon for a bombing.

GRAPHIC — Terrorist-Led Mexican Cartel Tortures Citizen Journalist


Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles

NUEVO LAREDO, Tamaulipas – Cartel gunmen working for a convicted terrorist kidnapped, tortured, and humiliated a citizen journalist who recorded a recent gun battle and dared to share the footage on social media. The attack is the second of its kind in recent weeks where Los Zetas tried to scare locals into silence.

This week, gunmen from the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas tortured an unidentified man and spray-painted him. He was left in his underwear in the streets of Nuevo Laredo as a warning to all residents to not record or photograph cartel gunmen.
The man claimed to be the individual who, over the weekend, used his cell phone to record a fierce gun battle between Mexican soldiers and the CDN. As Breitbart News reported, Mexican soldiers killed six CDN gunmen during the clash.
Earlier this year, Los Zetas tortured another man who they stripped and spray-painted with a message warning other citizen journalists to not document violence.
The CDN faction of Los Zetas has absolute control over the local news outlets in Nuevo Laredo and is able to suppress coverage of cartel violence. The faction also employs misinformation tactics to blame the consequences of criminal violence on officials. The tactic even duped United Nations officials into critiquing Mexican military forces. In addition to using the media for political gain, the CDN faction has leveraged local news outlets into praising their so-called charity work.
Currently, the CDN faction of Los Zetas is led by convicted terrorist Hector Raul “El Tory” Luna Luna, the man behind the 2008 grenade attack on the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey. Since assuming operational control of Nuevo Laredo, El Tory has been linked to numerous gruesome executions where victim’s bodies were dismembered and placed inside ice chests as a warning to rivals. El Tory’s gunmen were also tied to numerous attacks and threats on law enforcement, including a warning they would bomb a state police building in Nuevo Leon.

REYNOSA, Tamaulipas – Gulf Cartel gunmen dumped the bodies of three victims along one of the highways in this border city. A large deployment of police forces responded to secure the crime scene. The violence comes at a time when rival factions of the Gulf Cartel continue their fight for control of the border region.

Early morning motorists moving the Libramiento highway called authorities upon spotting the three bodies. Tamaulipas state authorities rushed to the scene and set up a perimeter while forensic investigators documented the crime scene and collected the bodies.

The cartel gunmen wrapped one of the victims in a blanket, a second one plastic, and a third was dumped tied and semi-nude. All three victims showed signs of torture, law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart News.
The discovery of the three bodies along the highway in Reynosa follows almost a dozen similar cases of executions where the victims were dumped along rural roads near the city. As Breitbart News reported, Reynosa residents witnessed a rekindling of violence where the two rival factions of the Gulf Cartel that have an ongoing power struggle set off fierce firefights involving dozens of armored vehicles with gunmen carrying machine guns, grenades, and .50 caliber rifles.

Eight-Time Deportee Accused of Trafficking $850,000 in Meth, Cocaine

Police arrested an illegal alien in Utah, who had been deported from the U.S. eight different times, for allegedly trafficking $850,000 in meth and cocaine.

Jose Olegario Lopez, a 44-year-old Mexican national from the state of Sinaloa, was traveling with his 16-year-old son on Saturday when Utah County officers pulled him over for suspected traffic violations.
But Lopez reportedly did not stop the car, causing authorities to surround him until he was forced to stop.

Officers who initially searched Lopez found he had traces of cocaine on his body, authorities said.
When officers and a K9 conducted an in-depth search of Lopez’s vehicle, they discovered multiple individually wrapped packages. Detectives say they recovered 2.35 pounds of cocaine, worth $106,000, and 16.7 pounds of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of more than $750,000.
Authorities charged Lopez with two first-degree felony counts of possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute, one count of failing to respond to obey an officer, and one class A misdemeanor charge of drug paraphernalia possession, according to a press release from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.
Lopez is currently in custody and a judge ordered that he be held without bond.
Officials say the son was not involved in the trafficking and they released him into the custody of his mother.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials confirmed that Lopez is in the U.S. illegally and has been busted for illegally re-entering the country eight times.
ICE officials placed a detainer on Lopez, meaning that if he is released from prison, ICE can take custody of him and deport him out of the U.S.
Lopez is not the only eight-time deportee to make headlines. One judge threw the book at a Honduran national who had been deported from the U.S. eight times, sentencing the illegal alien to five years in federal prison.

GRAPHIC – 7 Human Heads Dumped in Mexican Border State

Police discovered seven heads abandoned in an ice cooler Friday morning in the rural community of Bácum, Sonora–sparking fears of an escalation in an ongoing territorial cartel war.

Security elements of the State Public Security Police (PESP) and investigators assigned to the State Attorney General’s Office responded to a report of heads in a cooler at approximately 4 am, according to local media. Authorities determined that all victims were males between the ages of 25 and 40 and were believed kidnapped several hours earlier in the town of Francisco Javier Mina.
According to authorities and Breitbart Texas law enforcement contacts, the Friday morning executions and the general escalation in violence in the region can be attributed to a territorial dispute between “Los Salazar,” aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, and Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). This dispute began in 2017 as CJNG moved into southern Sonora to challenge the Sinaloa Cartel’s dominance over routes to the U.S. drug markets.
According to local media reports, the small community of Bácum has registered 150 homicides.

In early August, Breitbart Texas reported that the United States Consulate General in Hermosillo issued a security alert prohibiting federal employees from traveling to the popular tourist locations of San Carlos, Guaymas, and Empalme, Sonora, due to recent violent activity. Breitbart Texas also reported that more than 200 federal and state police personnel supported by elements of the Mexican Army were deployed to Guaymas amid increasing violence.

 15 Sep 201856



CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — Cartel gunmen escalated the number of executions in capital city of this Mexican border state. Hitmen began a new tactic where they are now raiding homes early in the morning. The raids are designed to surprise their sleeping victims and kill them at point-blank range.

This week, Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas, witnessed a series of executions where a group of assassins arrived at the houses of their victims at dawn and used assault rifles to kill them. The first execution took place in the Horacio Terán neighborhood in the southern part of the city where 52-year-old Hortencia “N” and an unidentified man died after being shot three times in the head.
According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by state authorities, neighbors reported hearing several gunshots at 6 a.m. so they called the authorities. By the time authorities and emergency personnel arrived, the victims were already dead and the gunmen escaped from the scene.
The double murder occurred at about the same time that another group of hit men killed an ex-convict named Ricardo “El Riki” Gonzalez Villanueva. According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by authorities, the gunmen also caught the victim by surprise at his home when two cartel hitmen entered and shot him multiple times in the head.
Also this week, a group of hitmen executed two men outside a house in the Luis Echeverria neighborhood. The gunmen shot their victims with machine guns at close range before fleeing. According to police sources, the executions are related to the territorial disputes between rival factions of Los Zetas cartel called Northeastern Cartel or Cartel Del Noreste and Old School Zetas or Zetas Vieja Escuela.

SHOCKING IMAGES OF CARTELS ON U.S. BORDERS:
“Heroin is not produced in the United States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled into the United States. Indeed, this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017 when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com

“The greatest criminal threat to the daily lives of American citizens are the Mexican drug cartels.”



“Mexican drug cartels are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this country.” JUDICIALWATCH

“Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the kidnapping, murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of ovens at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up and complicity of the Mexican government.”

THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS OPERATING IN AMERICA’S OPEN BORDERS
Overall, in the 2017 Fiscal Year, officials revealed that a record-breaking 455,000 pounds plus of drugs had already been seized. In 2016, that number amounted to 443,000 pounds. The 2017 haul is worth an estimated $6.1 billion – BREITBART – JEFF SESSION’S DRUG BUST ON SAN DIEGO

THE ILLEGALS’ AND THEIR CRIME TIDAL WAVE!
Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. 

A NATION DIES OF OPIOID ADDICTION
AMERICAN BIG PHARMA, RED CHINA and NARCOMEX PARTNER FOR THE BIG BUCKS
“The drug epidemic is the product of capitalism and the policies of the capitalist parties, both Democrats and Republicans. There is, first of all, the role of the pharmaceutical companies, which have amassed huge profits from the deceptive marketing of opioid pain killers, which they claimed were not addictive. Prescriptions for opioids such as Percocet, Oxycontin and Vicodin skyrocketed from 76 million in 1991 to nearly 259 million in 2012. What are the numbers and profits now?

PRINCETON REPORT:
American middle-class is addicted, poor, jobless and suicidal…. Thank the corrupt government for surrendering our borders to 40 million looting Mexicans and then handing the bills to middle America?
OPIOID MURDERS BY BIG PHARMA

“While drug distributors have paid a total of $400 million in fines over the past 10 years, their combined revenue during this same period was over $5 trillion.”

“Opioids have ravaged families and devastated communities across the country. Encouraging their open use undermines the rule of law and will do nothing to quell their continued abuse, let alone the problems underlying mass addiction.”
